Quite a few birds around and lots of the boys had decent shooting, the cold weather hadn't run them off after all. Dad was running the show so wouldn't touch a gun. I'd had some bad news this morning and wasn't very keen, tried a half dozen shots sitting around with him and did kill one. Big shoot is Monday afternoon, maybe I'll be a little more on the ball.
